Disappeared again for a few days there didn’t I? tut, tut, my bad. But just be glad I’m here at all. Cause you know… Nope, can’t come up with an ending for that sentence at all. Anyways, remember back two years ago I made such a huge fuss about Munster and the Heineken Cup final. […]

Can you believe that June is here already? Do you believe that over half of the searches[1] that come to this blog[2] are Irish rugby related. Did you know that most of those were quite specific in what they were looking for, and that was Paul O’Connell and his “fear of god” speech. Oh and […]

I didn’t watch the rugby documentary[1] last night. I was watching Medium and the Heroes. And can I just say one little thing to scifi uk? Your ads are the worst, and I will never ever buy the new Tomb Raider game, nor the previous one you advertised, Sparta, or whatever. And why? Because you […]

Memo to self: When walking down the street do not listen to Gift Grub. Laughing to yourself is the sign of a mad person. Do not sing along with songs entitled Bloody Mother Fucking Assholes while waiting in the queue. Do not pay more attention to the birds flying overhead while walking to work than […]

Welcome to part two of Irish expressions taking over the world[1] Today’s term is yoke. As in an egg yoke. Or that thing that connects two draft horses (or various other draft animals) pulling whatever it is they pull But that is not the usual Irish meaning. Oh no. When we say yoke we can […]

Rewatched 17th Mar 2018 So, my thoughts on this rewatch are “wow, Stark is a dick, and no Pepper, his behaviour with women is not cool. Not cool at all. Also the little transphobic and homophobic jokes, so not cool. But I still enjoyed it, and I agree with my past self about the importance […]

I really liked this. Reminded me a lot of Solaris, the whole "who are we" theme. But a very different film. Loved the look of it, and the soundtrack. I've heard the book is very very different but might have to go read it at some point now.
